Re: Glee! [merged]

So much better than the last couple of weeks...I Dreamed a Dream was the best song since Don't Rain On My Parade, in my opinion. And Matthew Morrison was so hot in the episode, he must have a switch or something he can turn on. I'll buy his CD when it comes out!

I would not be surprised if Ryan Murphy pulled a fast one and is just making Idina appear as Rachel's mother to toy with her head before the regional.

EDIT: Oh sweet Jesus I just listened to the Bad Romance cover...I'm embarrassed for the creator of AutoTune, and the editors of the show's music.

Re: Glee! [merged]

Last nights was probably one of the best episodes so far, and I'm surprised I'm saying it since it skipped out on a lot of the trademark humour. Nonetheless, I can see an actual progression on the overlying plot finally! NPH forever!

Re: Glee! [merged]

Regarding Artie, I have a weird question...

When someone is paralyzed from the waist down and they have no control of their muscles, how do they keep from using the bathroom on themselves? I've always wondered that, LoL. Sometimes you really have to go but you just have to hold it, so if you're paralyzed and have no control over those muscles, how do you keep from making a mess of yourself all the time?

Re: Glee! [merged]

Now I am even more confused about the fact that they autotune so much in the show

Well, it could be because autotuning is so popular on the charts today, so they like to give the younger Top 40 followers what they're used to.

But I'm thinking it probably has more to do with the fact that they film roughly an episode a week, and that means every week they are having to learn several dance numbers and songs, while still making public appearances and practicing for their current four city concert. In short, the actors are probably exhausted after 16 hour work days, and sometimes their voices need the extra boost.

There are already rumors about unrest in the cast about how hard and exhausting their schedules are. Hopefully they will continue to spread the work around in order to not overtax the good cast they have.

Re: Madonna round 2. What songs should Glee do?

Here's what I'd like:

Into the Groove
True Blue
Ray of Light
Don't Tell Me
Hung Up

Someone asked me once how I could know that I'm gay if I've never slept with a woman. I've never shoved shards of glass into my eye, either, but I don't have to give it a shot to know that it's not for me.

Re: Glee! [merged]

I really liked tonights episode. Absolut I think I understand why you want the kurt/finn thing to be over but to be honest I hope it continues. Its one of the most realistic story lines they have going. As for the music I thought most of it was pretty good, actually only the Bad Romance performance was out right bad IMO

Re: Glee! [merged]

^ Well, it's not that I just want to be done, up and over with.

It is realistic in terms of "boyhood crushes" in highschool. God knows I had them.

But the intertwining of Finn, Kurt, and their parents is just too convenient I guess. Don't get me wrong - whenever there is a scene with Kurt and his father (especially tonight) I almost always have tears in my eyes because it reminds me of my own. But to the point that I wish he would've been.

Plus (shocking!) I'm a Lady GaGa freak so I was destined to already like this episode

But it didn't dominate it. The storyline took an interesting turn, and I really enjoyed this episode

I'm beautiful in my way - cause god makes no mistakes - I'm on the right track - baby I was born this way!

Not a big fan of Gaga but I enjoyed their rendition. I mean, you can't make shit shine, smell good or clean off the bottom of sneakers easily. They did a good job with what they had. The first Kiss song was bad, 'Beth' was pretty good.

Re: Glee! [merged]

I'm just really hating how they are seriously just lacking on actual story/plot to amp up the songs/performances....I'm just feeling a lack of connection to the stories, because we go weeks without mention of some of the main stories, because there just isn't time with all the songs to talk about the numerous plotlines they have going on.

Brittany and Sue are the only things going for the show in my mind right now....lol

Re: Glee! [merged]

I still love the show. However, I'm still thinking that it's trying to be too much at one time. I normally would applaud the seriousness with which it treated the gay bashing/bullying aspect, but because the two football players have been played for laughs in the past, to suddenly make them truly menacing felt out of place, and I honestly just felt uncomfortable watching it. Likewise, the scene with Mike O'Malley in the basement was amazing on his part, but it also felt awkward and too heavy to me. More than one gay friend remarked to me that they supported Finn, and even the football players to some extent, because of the way Kurt behaves. I found it ironic that the football players and Jasun on here had about the same opinion.

I'm not against Kurt's expression of himself, but they keep taking his creepiness to a whole new level. As others have pointed out on here, they are showing growth in a lot of the characters, but Kurt doesn't feel like he's growing at all, which doesn't ring true for someone who is so self aware.

And I'm sorry, but as much as Finn's outbursts and words were out of line, they just continue to shit on this character. He really does get fucked over a lot on this show, when his character has one of the better hearts of anyone on the show. Monteith's facial expressions showed some real acting talent tonight, and you could see Finn's struggle. But for a character who is the go-to good guy, it's getting tiring of seeing him crapped all over.

Sigh--an uneven episode that I loved, but don't know why exactly, and almost feel like I shouldn't have. Thank God for Idina.

And I'm falling in love with Quinn more and more each episode. Maybe Glee is making me straight.

Re: Glee! [merged]

"Being a jock and in glee club doesn't make you versatile, it makes you bisexual."

To that end I hope they don't make Finn bi...eek!

The problem with the show is they don't know how to balance musical numbers and acting scenes. For example...while it was a nice rendition, Beth shouldn't have been sung. They could have used that three minutes for acting. It seems that having plot develop through song is disingenuous and impersonal to character development.

I agree somewhat about kurt but I think because he is so self aware him being creepy/awkward kind of makes sense. I mean yes it seems kurt has always known what team he plays for and is loud and proud but he is still a teenage boy who has never actually been in a relationship. Unlike the couples he sees around him he really doesn't have a role model for how to deal with someone he is attracted to plus I get the impression that he is pretty used to getting what he wants lol so Finn rejecting him would make him a bit nuts.

I'm probably reading way too much into it but thats my reasoning for enjoying how kurt is acting. If it were me I would have Kurt and Fin bump heads quite a bit going. In an odd way I think both of them would learn a lot from it.

@Callum I could see him either experimenting with kurt (very unlikely but i guess it could happen) or I could see kurt thinking he had the green light to try something and getting shut down... either way I think they may come back to the bi thing

Re: Glee! [merged]

So far this episode is my least favorite. The damn thing was all over the place, but still wrapped itself up at the end in a totally unbelievable way. Kurt completely freaked me out in this one. For most of the episode I couldn’t even watch it because of my eye phobia.

The only redeeming trait for this episode was Mike O’Malley. He is one of the few actors I can watch and forget they are just acting.

Re: Glee! [merged]

I really enjoyed Rachel's story. I love Idina Menzel and Lea's interaction. Which is weird because I hate how every episode is Rachel to the extreme.

It's obvious that they are aware Puck is the resident hottie of the show but his character has the most random ridiculous inconsistency. I agree Quinn has become more endearing.

I'm glad Sue hasnt been the focus so much. I like her character but in smaller doses.

Kurt is just terrible. There;s nothing wrong with him being flamboyant and feminine but how aggressively he tried to push himself on Finn was so annoying. And while Mike O'Malley's scene was great it was kinda unwarranted. The scene would have made more sense for him to say that the football players. It was so out of character for Finn to even say "faggy".

I think the show handles this issue really badly. The football players made sense. Why does it matter to them what Kurt wears? But Finn was justified in being angry at Kurt. Kurt was being completely inappropriate and predatory to Kurt. and perpetuates that PC bullshit where anytime you are mean to a gay guy you are being homophobic. It's not the gay guy is being a crazy asshole. The oversensitivity I think is counterproductive.

Agreed, extremely uneven episode. They approached the whole "mom" thing wrong. Very wrong. The Kurt/Finn thing was uncomfortable, at best, and the songs were oddly very blah.

That whole thing about the principal and vampires was very random.

And where in the world was Sue Sylvester this episode??!?!

For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
